Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
110 AM EDT Fri Jun 19 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will slowly drift south of the region through
Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
1:00 AM Update: Hrly temps.dwpts needed adjusting for the
overnight period. Temp are dropping off and the latest trends
support a further drop in temps before daybreak and then a
gradual warming by 7 AM. Therefore, decided to lower the
overnight lows a bit given the latest setup. Satl imagery
showed stratus and fog setting just offshore of the Washington
County coast and showing signs of edging back toward Hancock
County. Fog could set up along the coast later and even further
inland across interior sections of the Downeast. Attm, the fog
does not look to be widespread. Therefore, stayed w/the
daycrew's thinking of patchy fog through this morning.

Previous discussion:
The center of warm low-level temps across Quebec and New
Brunswick will drift south for Friday. Combined with any
residual heat from today, temps will soar once again during the
morning hours beneath full sun. While only a couple degrees
warmer, some additional moisture in the region may push heat
indices at or above 95 degrees for a few hours in the afternoon.
Still under clear skies, all of the daily records listed in the
climate section will be at risk of being tied or broken
tomorrow. Can’t rule out a brief triple digit reading in peak
heating where down slope conditions are favorable in lee of some
higher terrain.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Surface high pressure will remain centered south of the region
Friday night through Sunday, while upper level ridging persists.
Uncertainty exists Saturday/Sunday regarding whether a cold
front is able to settle across northern Maine or remains to the
north. Generally expect mostly clear skies across the region
Friday night, though marine stratus/fog could affect the
Downeast coast. Warm increasingly humid conditions will occur
across the forecast area through the weekend. This will support
a chance of mostly diurnal showers/thunderstorms across mostly
northern and central areas. If the cold front is able to reach
northern Maine, shower/thunderstorm chances could increase both
Saturday and Sunday. Lesser shower/thunderstorm chances will
exist across Downeast areas. Marine stratus/fog could affect
the Downeast coast through the weekend, particularly at night
and early morning. Temperatures will remain at above normal
levels through the weekend. Temperatures from the mid 80s to
around 90 are expected across much of the region through the
weekend. Cooler temperatures from the mid 70s to around 80 will
occur along the Downeast coast with onshore winds and sea
breezes.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The remnants of the upper low which has been south of the
region will lift north Sunday night through Monday. High
pressure will remain centered southeast of the region Monday
through Thursday. At the same time, a slow moving frontal
boundary will approach from the west Monday through Wednesday
then begin to cross the region Thursday. The return flow around
high pressure will keep warm humid conditions across the region
Monday through Thursday. This will help support mostly diurnal
showers/thunderstorms Monday through Thursday. More extensive
showers/thunderstorms are possible later Wednesday/Thursday
with the approach of the front. Warm moist air across the colder
waters of the Gulf of Maine will also likely support marine
stratus/fog Monday through Thursday, mostly across the Gulf of
Maine and along the Downeast coast. Temperatures will remain at
above normal levels Monday through Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR continuing through the period. Patchy fog may
form in vicinity of BHB after midnight, reducing visibility to
IFR/MVFR. Extent will be limited, but patches of fog may also
develop inland towards BGR for a shorter period of time tonight,
but confidence is not high enough to include in the taf. Winds
will be light out of the SW Downeast, and W across northern TAF
sites through Friday.

SHORT TERM:
Friday night...Generally VFR. However, variable conditions
possible along the Downeast coast with any marine stratus/fog.

Saturday through Tuesday...Variable conditions possible with
any mostly diurnal showers/thunderstorms. The better chances of
showers/thunderstorms will occur across northern and central
areas, with lesser chances Downeast. Variable conditions with
marine stratus/fog will also likely affect the Downeast coast
at times Saturday through Tuesday, particularly during night
and early morning hours. Otherwise, VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Conditions continue below SCA for winds and waves.
Continued patchy fog mention tonight as air temperatures cool
above cold SSTs along the coast. Main shelf of low stratus/fog
remains well outside coastal waters overnight.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas will remain below small craft advisory
levels Friday night through Sunday. Visibilities will be
reduced in fog Friday night through Sunday.

&&
